Hi Bernie

Glad everything is well
Flat head syndrome must be so common now, I know 2 people whoses little boys have this. One got a helmet (privately - paid a fortune) and the other one has been told it will sort itself out. He is Poppys age, and it seemd less noticable than it used to be. What age have they told you it will go?

Certainly nothing wrong with her weight gain then

Can't believe she's 9 months already!!!
Where has that gone?

That's really great news, so glad she is doing well. I'm sure if they were at all worried about her flat head, they would have mentioned it.
Regards
Maggie

Thats good news Bernie, and her weight is brilliant

We got one of those book bags and stuff from our HV at our 9 month check. There was this great book called "this little baby" where there was various pages of "this little baby.....plays with his toys.....makes lots of noise....lies down for a rest and the last page was a mirror - it was "this little baby is the one I love best" Zach loved it and still does tho it is very weather (baby) beaten now.

Love

Hi Bernie

Glad Rachel's check went OK and as Maggie says, if her head was a problem it would have been mentioned I am sure.

Our canvas bag has sadly been chewed by the dog, much the same as the books, chewed by Daniel that is, not the dog! He seems to love eating books for some reason!!

Love
